LA, linoleic acid; AA, arachidonic acid; ALA, α‐linolenic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; NS, non‐significant. *Values are Spearman's rank correlation coefficients. Significance levels are adjusted q‐values obtained by the false discovery rate method to control for multiple comparisons († q < 0.01, ‡ q < 0.001, NS).
